Univorsity Magazine. Wo supposo this
knight of the quill was novor smitten be

him that wo shall bo obliged to chronicle
another "gono."
Tho Targunii in its last issue, compares

with tho oxponses at tho prcsont timo, and
it appears that two dollars paid for both
board and lodging. If wo wore a port
tho Atlantic cable could not refrain us
